MicroFIT (Feed-in Tariff) Solar Power in Ontario:
How to Generate Electricity from Renewable Energy, Make Money and Create a Sustainable Future
Start here
Welcome. You've come to the right place if you want to install a solar system to start generating profits for a sustainable future. I am John Wilson, a home owner in Ontario who has implemented two solar systems over the past eight years. My goal here is to provide you with my personal experience to help you understand this process from an owner/investors perspective. From here you'll find links to the government agencies running these programs and some of the system suppliers that can install for you.
Bottom line is that installing a solar system on your roof offers one of the most important investments you will ever have the opportunity to make. You will make a better than average return on your investment while contributing in many ways to a sustainable future the value of which is beyond measure. By joining thousands who have already put solar on their roof you become part of a movement that provides hope for our children. It has been estimated that if just 10% of us cover our rooftops with solar we could power the entire country...specifically the United States and Canada (who consume substantially more than European countries per capita). Imagine millions of us, making a reasonable investment of $200/month ($20,000 loan over 10 years) that will double our money in twenty years, while generating electricity without any pollution or fuel costs. While 90% of us want to protect the environment it is my belief that at least 10% of us are willing to invest now to make it happen. That gives me, and should you, a great deal of hope. We can do this.

Toronto Star article - Natural dream
“When it comes to living green, you can't do much better than the Wilson family. On most days, their hydro meter even runs backward at times, as they export electricity to Ontario's power grid. It's a great example of what one family can accomplish in doing what's right for the environment.” Toronto Star, August 30, 2003

“Wow! Fantastic video, and a beautiful house too! I'm actually working on some straw bale houses myself right now, outstanding R-values. I'm glad you also mentioned that folks should look at savings first thru cfl bulbs, passive solar design, composting.... Great job! :)”
